Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Interior.

ACTION: Rescindment of a system of records notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of the Interior (DOI) is issuing a public 
notice of its intent to rescind the Privacy Act system of records, 
INTERIOR/DOI-79, Interior Personnel Records, from its inventory because 
it is duplicative with existing system of records notice requirements. 
During a review of DOI system of records notices, it was determined 
that personnel records of current and recently separated DOI employees 
maintained by DOI are covered under the government-wide system of 
records notice, OPM/GOVT-1, General Personnel Records, and the DOI 
system of records notice, INTERIOR/DOI-85, Payroll, Attendance, 
Retirement, and Leave Records. This rescindment will eliminate an 
unnecessary duplicate notice and promote the overall streamlining and 
management of DOI Privacy Act systems of records.

DATES: These changes take effect on November 24, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy 
Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended, DOI is rescinding the 
INTERIOR/DOI-79, Interior Personnel Records, system of records notice 
from its inventory because it is no longer needed as the personnel 
records of current and recently separated DOI employees are covered 
under the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) government-wide system 
of records notice, OPM/GOVT-1, General Personnel Records, 77 FR 73694 
(December 11, 2012), modification published at 80 FR 74815 (November 
30, 2015); and the DOI system of records notice, INTERIOR/DOI-85, 
Payroll, Attendance, Retirement, and Leave Records, 83 FR 34156 (July 
19, 2018). During a routine review, DOI determined that the INTERIOR/
DOI-79, Interior Personnel Records, system of records notice does not 
identify any additional individuals, records, or routine uses beyond 
those specified in the OPM/GOVT-1 and INTERIOR/DOI-85 system of records 
notices. Therefore, DOI is rescinding the INTERIOR/DOI-79, Interior 
Personnel Records, system of records notice to avoid duplication of 
existing system of records notices in accordance with the Office of 
Management and Budget Circular A-108, Federal Agency Responsibilities 
for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act.
    Rescinding the INTERIOR/DOI-79, Interior Personnel Records, system 
of records notice will have no adverse impacts on individuals as the 
records are covered by the published OPM/GOVT-1 and INTERIOR/DOI-85 
system of records notices. The rescindment of the INTERIOR/DOI-79 
notice will also promote the overall streamlining and management of DOI 
Privacy Act systems of records.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
    INTERIOR/DOI-79, Interior Personnel Records.

HISTORY:
    64 FR 20010 (April 23, 1999); modification published 73 FR 8342 
(February 13, 2008).
